Meet Isaac Trevino, author of an actionable short read for young adults titled “I want better but I don’t know how to get there.” Believe it or not, the book is a product of Isaac’s self-described laziness...which we’ll get to in the interview.

Tune in to learn how Isaac got over his lazy tendencies and now actively works towards being a go-getter!
